1. They Get Nervous Around Girls!

Theo James (who plays Divergent's lead dude, Four) says he’s not great when it comes to making the first move. “I tell a couple bad jokes,” he told us. “Usually I make a fool of myself!” But Theo doesn't let those awkard moments get to him—and here's why you shouldn't either: “I don’t worry about messing it up the first time so much because it will work out in the end if it’s supposed to,” he said. Um, #obsessed.

If you’ve seen Miles Teller in interviews, then you’ve already gotten to see him turn on the charm. But on set, Miles (who plays the bully, Peter, in the movie) takes it to the next level as the cast prankster! His best one? He left balloons in Ben Lloyd-Hughes’ dressing room, pretending that they were from Divergent author, Veronica Roth, and texted Ben from a different phone asking him to meet up after filming to talk about his role in a flirty way. Ben totally fell for it until Zoe Kravitz (who plays Christina in the flick) let him in on the truth! “We were there for three or four months so you’ve got to pull some pranks to keep things light!” Miles explained.

3. They're Hopeless Romantics!

Ben Lloyd-Hughes is the smokin’ hot British dude who plays Will, a new initiate in the Dauntless faction. In the book, he experiences a romance that stems from a friendship, and IRL, he says you shouldn’t be afraid to share your feelings, even if your crush doesn't necessarily say what you want to hear back. “I think it’s always great when someone has the confidence and openness to say how they feel,” he said. “Even if [the other person doesn’t] feel the same way, you’ve gotten it off your chest and you’ve maybe even planted a seed that might lead to something later on.” Swoon!

4. They're Not Afraid To Admit They Get Scared Sometimes, Too

Jai Courtney plays Eric, the super tough Dauntless faction leader. But IRL, the cutie admits he's not quite as fearless as his Divergent alter ego. (Hint: Don't invite Jai over for Thanksgiving if you're having pumpkin pie!) “The three things I’m afraid of are small spaces, being covered in spiders, and being fed baked pumpkin,” he revealed. “If I didn’t have to eat pumpkin again for the rest of my life I’d be a happy man!” Hmmm, what the what?!

As cute as the Divergent dudes are, they can still relate to being totally crushed by someone you like. Ansel Elgort, who plays Caleb, Tris’ bro, admitted it took almost a year to get to a place where he was totally over his first relationship. “It’s hard, but you have to look and realize that a year of your time feeling that way sucks, but it’s so necessary to get you to what amazing things will come next,” he said. Love it, Ansel!

6. They Go After Their Dreams!

Christian Madsen, who plays Al, the sweet and sensitive dude who joins Dauntless, had a smaller role in the film at first, but then he spoke up and got the bigger part he was after: “I talked to Shai and we agreed that Al is a big part of Tris’s life,” he explained. “We then talked to the director and the writer, and they were really receptive to it and wrote another scene in!”
